This realization wasn't sudden but a gradual process fueled by my fascination with the human body and my desire to make a difference in people's lives.
The foundational skills of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and courage—essential for anyone entering the rigorous world of medical studies were cultivated during school.I fondly remember participating in various study-related activities that ignited my passion for learning. The Science Congress, Math and Science Olympiads, and numerous quizzes were not just competitions but opportunities to delve deeper into subjects I loved. Presenting my projects at science exhibitions is still vivid in my memory, solidifying my interest in biology and medicine.
However, school was not all about academics. I cherish the hours spent on the basketball court, where I learnt teamwork and resilience. Debates and declamation contests were highlights that helped me develop public speaking and critical thinking skills, which have proven invaluable in my medical career.As the saying goes, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone." Those were indeed the best days of my life. Before I knew it, those days had passed, leaving behind a treasure trove of memories.
